Q.

Let y = y(x) be the solution of the differential equation sec2xdx+(e2ytan2x+tan x)dy=00<x<π2, y(π4)=0. If y(π6)=α, then e8α is equal to __________.          [2024]

We have, sec2xdx+(e2ytan2x+tan x)dy=0

Put tanx=t

 sec2xdxdy=dtdy

Now, sec2xdxdy+(e2ytan2x+tan x)=0

 dtdy+e2yt2+t=0  dtdy+t=t2e2y

1t2dtdy+1t=e2y

Again put 1t=u  1t2dtdy=dudy

 dudy+u=e2y  dudyu=e2y

 I.F.=edy=ey

 uey=eye2ydy

 uey=eydy  1tey=ey+c

 1tan xey=ey+c          ... (i)

When, x=π4, y = 0

 1tan(π4)e0=e0+c  1=1+c  c=0 

Also, when x=π6, y=α

  From (i), we have

1tanπ6eα=eα+0  3=e2α  (e2α)4=(3)4

 e8α=9.
